Chapter 796: Chapter 791: Did You Kill Soone?
At 7 PM, lingering at the doorstep of his old ho for hours, Lin Zifeng had intended to visit Li Lin’s residence, but feared his sister-in-law would discover his return.
The matter of his sister-in-law had always been a hurdle in Lin Zifeng’s heart, unable to get past it. Yet, no matter how longing he was, he could never engage in any relationship with his sister-in-law, bound by moral and ethical considerations.
That evening, Qian Mingyue actually did call Lin Zifeng and invited him to a place where they had once spent their most beautiful youthful days together.
Lin Zifeng didn’t refuse her invitation. He didn’t want to hurt her. So things, he felt, were better explained face-to-face.
Around 9 PM, Lin Zifeng could see Qian Mingyue’s silhouette by the small lake from afar.
This had often been their go-to spot during their younger years, and it was also where Lin Zifeng had first stood up for Qian Mingyue when she was bullied by others.
Even though he might have been sowhat embarrassed at the ti, it was then that he had captured her affection.
“You’re here.”
As she saw Lin Zifeng’s frail figure gradually erging from the shade of the big trees.
A warm tide surfaced in the woman’s soft, moist eyes.
Sucking on his cigarette, Lin Zifeng nodded, saying, “Sister-in-law, whatever you have to say, let’s talk here.”
“Were those two deaths last night your doing?” Qian Mingyue asked with gathered courage.
The previous night, when Lin Zifeng suddenly dashed into the woods, although Qian Mingyue didn’t see Lin Zifeng commit murder, as soon as the police released the news the next day, her mind imdiately thought of Lin Zifeng. After all, he was the only one who had run into the woods.
“Why do you ask?” Lin Zifeng wasn’t the least bit surprised.
He had intentionally left those two bodies behind as a ploy to draw out a bigger bait. He was confident that the news of the death of those two individuals would surely alarm the forces behind them; this was what he was currently focused on.
“Zifeng, tell honestly, were those two deaths last night your doing? In these five years, I don’t know what kind of person you’ve turned into, but you need to understand the consequences of murder in Huaxia. This is a matter of life and death. I don’t want to see you get hurt.”
The woman took a step forward, concern showing in her eyes as her lovely brows gathered in a serious expression.
“Heh, sister-in-law, maybe you’ve misunderstood . The Lin Zifeng of the past was timid as a mouse, constantly bullied by others. How could he possibly commit murder? Even if five years have passed, do you think I could have beco such a murderous demon?”
Lin Zifeng said, looking at her.
“Zifeng, don’t hide it from . Can you tell what unspeakable things you’ve gone through in these five years? Ever since your first return, I noticed that you had changed, no longer the Lin Zifeng I knew. And since your return, a series of murders have occurred back ho, with many people you were close to mysteriously killed. Although the police found a lot of illicit items in their hos, the timing is too coincidental with your return, don’t you think?”
“Are you suspecting of murder?” Lin Zifeng’s brows arched as he asked.
“No! I am not suspecting you of murder, I just can’t believe it,” Qian Mingyue continued, her pretty brows furrowing further: “Even though I’m already soone else’s wife and your sister-in-law, have you never hated ?”
“Sorry, sister-in-law, I, Lin Zifeng, swear to the heavens, I have never hated you. That’s the truth. Your happiness with my cousin, perhaps that’s your fortune. Since you’re happy, that is my comfort. You needn’t worry about it.”
“But do you know if I am genuinely happy?” the woman suddenly asked: “If you hadn’t returned, perhaps you would never cross my mind again, my world might never have included you. But now that you’re back, I can never forget the past. Forget the past tis when we were happily together.”
“Sister-in-law, if you called here just to say this, I’m sorry, but I’m already married, and my wife treats very well. She’s at ho right now, cooking delicious als waiting for to co back. Sorry, sister-in-law. Let’s talk another ti, it’s already very late.”
Lin Zifeng now understood that his sister-in-law’s feelings were too deep, still thinking about him after five years.
Such taboo, against both moral and ethical considerations, Lin Zifeng must never tread.
“Zifeng, did you never like ?”
“No!”
Lin Zifeng turned abruptly, his tone definitive: “We are just confidantes, listening to each other’s stories. Please do not bring these moral transgressions into it.”
“But I still have you in my heart! I don’t ask for anything else, can’t you give the last bit of solace so my heart can finally let go of you, even if just for the mory?”
“Zifeng, just kiss , hug , okay? I don’t ask for anything else, just want you to kiss , hug ,” the woman implored, suddenly wrapping her arms around Lin Zifeng’s waist, her eyes brimming with tears as her long-held feelings for her once beloved erupted after so many years, a heartache that few could bear.
“Sister-in-law, please conduct yourself with dignity! This isn’t fair to my cousin!”
Lin Zifeng’s frown deepened, his voice growing heavier.
“No! Is this unfairness to him? What about ? Is this fair to ? I’ve waited in anguish, and now that you’ve finally returned, can you really be so heartless as to let continue suffering this tornt?”
The woman continued, tears flowing: “Zifeng, all I want is this one consolation, please? Just this once!” She swallowed back her tears: “After this, I won’t disturb your life again, as long as you fulfill this one small wish of mine. Even if it ans dying, I’d be willing. Can you do this for ?”
With her head held high, her budding eyes brimd with tears full of expectation.
Lin Zifeng fell silent.
This dual pressure made him feel extrely terrible.
He couldn’t betray his grandfather, he couldn’t go against his conscience, and most importantly, he couldn’t violate ethics!
“Can you?”
The woman pleaded with tearful eyes.
“Sister-in-law, please forgive .”
Lin Zifeng suddenly pried her fingers loose and walked forward rcilessly.
“Lin Zifeng! I love you more than I love myself, and I can prove it to you!”
Suddenly, Qian Mingyue’s eyes brimd with tears, and unbelievably, under the shade of a large tree, she stripped off all the clothes from her delicate body!!!
Her proud figure, though already soone’s wife, did not affect the maintenance of her body shape at all.
“Sister-in-law, why do you bother with this?”
Lin Zifeng watched her in surprise.
“Zifeng, I’ve said that I love you more than I love myself. Only like this can I prove that my love for you has never changed.”
The woman’s eyelids were stained with faint traces of tears, and her eyes showed a deep stubbornness.
But Lin Zifeng had already passed the age of youthful impressionability.
“Sister-in-law, we are all adults. Shouldn’t you think things through before you act? You are now my cousin’s wife, and also my sister-in-law. You should be very clear about the propriety of closeness. Please don’t destroy the whole family because of a montary impulse.”
Lin Zifeng walked back, trying not to stare at her body, and really wanting to dress her himself, but alas, Lin Zifeng could not do it.
Since he had promised the patriarch, he would definitely not cross that line.
“Do you really have not even the slightest bit of room for in your heart?” The woman sobbed again, her teary eyes saying, “I ask for nothing more, just hoping for one last consolation from you. Can’t you grant that? Lin Zifeng, do you know what place you hold in my heart?”
“Please forgive , sister-in-law.”
Lin Zifeng gave a deep bow and turned away indifferently.
His resolute departure completely shattered the woman’s last shred of hope…
Seeing Lin Zifeng’s indifferent and resolute leaving, the woman cried, her heart silently shedding tears.
…
Even Lin Zifeng’s mood at the mont was not very good.
His once confidant had now beco his sister-in-law, and she was so affectionate and loyal to him, all of it… He should never have co back.
“Sister, do you think Brother Lin will co?”
In a luxurious private room, Zhang Yuxuan furrowed her delicate brows, nervously pressing her cherry lips to her sister’s ear.
Watching the smiling tiger of the Star Society’s Eighth Master across from them.
She always felt that today’s banquet was more like a trap.
A few days ago, the slaughter of the Dragon by the Star Society had made the boss of the Star Society, known as Eighth Master, sowhat worried.
What shocked him most was that the super gang, Dragon Roar Society, which was based in the South District of Zhonghai, had been destroyed overnight!
Following that, the Butterfly Gang began to slowly penetrate the South District, which made the suspicious and cautious Eighth Master suspect that there must be a powerful backer behind Zhang ngjie.
So, after much consideration, this old fox decided to set up a banquet to invite the two of them over to talk about peace.
“Don’t worry, he will definitely co.”
Queen Zhang ngjie was as confident as ever, sipping her fragrant tea lightly.
She had just called Lin Zifeng, and the man had also promised he would co.
“But, but it’s getting late and Brother Lin hasn’t arrived yet. Aren’t you worried at all?”
Zhang Yuxuan asked anxiously.
“Oh?! It seems you care about Brother Lin more than I do,” Zhang ngjie suddenly turned her head and said with a laugh.
“Where, where has that happened? Sister, don’t talk nonsense,”
Zhang Yuxuan said with a blushing face.
…
Watching the two of them laughing and chatting across from him, the boss of Star Society, Eighth Master, finally beca a bit restless.
Knowing that he had set up a dangerous banquet, yet they ca ignoring the risk, what did that imply?
It ant they were utterly fearless!
Only fools could be so calm.
“I say, ladies, I wonder if today’s al has t your expectations?”
The man finally couldn’t help but probe.
“Eighth Master, if you talk like this, it sounds a bit distant. To be able to dine with Eighth Master is already a great honor for .”
